I believe they are interchangeable (ie the bolting points to the frame are identical), but they are visibly different. I don't know if the position of the peg relative to the bolting points is the same on both.

Basically I think you'd be alright buying a pair from the wrong model, but I'd be wary of buying a single one unless someone can confirm that the peg positions are the same for both models.
In the garage:
Kawasaki ZXR400 L3 - shiny
Suzuki DR800 - bouncy
1978 Suzuki GS400 - PROJECT RETRO RACER!
Kawasaki GPz500S - for sale soon
Honda CG125 BR-J - in bits

Yeah it does fit, and they also look different, but as deviant said not sure about the actualy positioning being the same, my feeling is they are. Let us know what happens! :smt001

H rearsets place the peg lower and further back than L's,

H on an L = good for tall folk,
L on an H = good for midgets with weird feet :)
